MIME media type name : Application
MIME subtype name : Vendor Tree - vnd.vsf
Required parameters : none
Optional parameters :
none
Encoding considerations :
Vsffiles are binary data and thus should be encoded for MIME mail
transmission. The same guidelines that apply to application/octet-stream
apply to vsffiles.
Security considerations :
Vsffiles are container files and practically any computer-generated
file may be placed inside a vsffile. As a result the security implications
of a vsffile are impossible to assess.
Interoperability considerations :
This file type is not recommended for normal use, since Content-Type
information for the files contained within the archive are not known.
Instead, multipart/mixed should be used and each file should have its
own content-type.
Published specification :
The published specification for this vsffile is available at the URL
http://www.cadmancorp.com/pub/download/VSF_Spec.txt.
